  Apologies for errors ahead

  Sarah’s POV

  “He went this way!”

  “Master over here!”

  “This way!”

  “No, the real one went this way!”

  “I saw him over here!”

  Everyone was shouting all at once, trying to locate the villain who had recently stolen from a bank. It made it hard for me to choose which direction I should take because my teammates were in different places.

  Black Arrow, a member of the Dark Phantom, was reported for stealing one of the biggest banks and we immediately made our move to capture him.

  As soon as we got there, it seemed like he knew that we were coming and so he had a chance to escape before we came.

  It would had been easy to locate him when he wasn't showing in different places.

  Following my instinct, I went to where Angel saw him and got my bow and arrow out. I shot an arrow towards him and as soon as it made contact, he vanished into thin air.

  “Did you get him?” Angel asks as he joins me.

  “I was sure that I got him but he just vanished into thin air.” I replied and the rest of the team joined us.

  “So that means it wasn’t the real one… again.” Angel rubbed his chin as if he was thinking.

  “Well I told you the real one went that way!” Tris yelled as he pointed to the place where he saw Black Arrow.

  “Whatever, he’s gone now so we… failed again.” I started walking away from them to return back to the base while balling my hand into a fist.

  Dammit!

  “Well we wouldn’t have failed if you didn’t listen to that handsome you call Angel and just listen to me!” Tris protested and I faced him.

  “What’s done is done! You can’t change the past now!” I exclaimed.

  “No! I’ve always let this pass but this time I won’t! You’ve always been listening to this handsome man of yours and you don’t even listen to what the others have to say!” He gestured to the rest of the group.

  “She listens to me.” Screm interrupted.

  “Yeah and me.” Taylor pointed out.

  “And me.” Jericho added.

  “M-my point is, you never listen to me! Me!” Tris yelled and Shiela went in the way.

  “Hey! Don’t talk to Master like that!” Shiela shouted at Tres.

  “Shut your mouth little girl! I’m not talking to you!” Tris spat at Shiela so I went in their way.

  “That’s enough!” I extend my left hand and they both look at me.

  “No! It is not enough! This is unfair, why do you always have to listen to all of them and not me?!” He pointed at everyone.

  “Well maybe because I trust all of them more than you!” I snapped and he went silent for a moment with wide eyes, including me and everyone.

  I didn't mean to say that, I was just frustrated that Black Arrow managed to escape again. It was like he’s always aware whenever we arrive at the scene.

  “Fine then, if you trust them more than me then why don't you just remove me from the group since everyone is better than me… Master! And if they’re better than me, I challenge them to fight mel!” He recommended.

  “Challenge not accepted! I can’t have my teammates fighting with each other!” I stated.

  “Well what about you Master? I challenge you for a duel!”

  “Challenge still not accepted, I don’t wa-” I was cut off by him.

  “Don’t want to hurt one of your loved ones? Am I really one of your loved ones or am I just one of your servants who you could just boss around?”

  “You know that is not true!”

  “Oh yeah? If that’s true, then you’ll accept my challenge. Or are you afraid to lose?” He locked his eyes into my one and I knew that he was serious.

  “You don't want to do this Tris, you know you’ll only lose.” Screm said.

  “Shut up!” Tris push Screm down the ground.

  Screm was about to scream but I stopped him by putting a hand out while getting my whip to show him that I will fight him seriously.

  “If you want to fight me I will accept as long as you don't hurt the others.” I glared at him.

  “Have you never thought of what the other’s opinion is instead of going on your own and fighting the Dark Phantoms by yourselves?! You could have been killed!”

  “Then why didn’t you chase after the Black Arrow you saw instead of going after me?!”

  “Because we need your orders but you weren’t there to tell us what to do! But there’s no turning back now because I am going to fight you!”

  He looked from me to my whip then back to me. Reading his reaction, I know that he’s thinking that I am serious about fighting him because I only use my whip when I am serious about fighting.

  “Are you guys seriously going to fight each other.” Jericho said and sat down on the nearest bench. “My money is on Sarah.”

  “This is not the time to bet on who is going to win!” Screm panicked as he observed me and Tris. “I’ll also bet that Master will win.”

  “Please stop this…” Shiela begged but it was too late.

  Tris threw three of his cards towards me but I deflected it with my whip. He then dashed towards me and I went to a fighting stance. We exchanged punches and kicks but he was receiving more than he was giving.

  As much as I don't want to fight him, I have to put him back in his place!

  A smirk was shown on his face as he changed his direction and was heading towards Shiela, but I managed to wrap my whip on his feet causing him to fall down. Screm, Shiela, Angel and Siper were about to interfere but Tris did something that made them stop. He raised his hand in surrender.

  “Alright, I have my fun now. Sorry about the ruckus but I really just want to fight someone to let my steam out. How about we forget everything that happened tonight and return back to the base? Wouldn’t that be great… Master?” He said as he emphasize the word ‘Master’

  “Great idea, and don’t forget that you don’t need to call me by the name Master. Just call me by my name.” I went with his game and I know that the others can see this as well… He’s lying

  “Sorry about that man.” Tris walks over to Screm and lends him a hand.

  “Yeah yeah, whatever.” Screm rolled his eyes and Tris laughed.

  And that’s what we all did, we went back to the base. There, we were greeted by Selena, leader of the Fairies along with Maricial, who was her 2nd in Command leader in their group.

  “So did you manage to catch the Dark Phantom this time?” Selena asks with one of her eyebrows raised.

  “No.” I simply replied as I didn’t want to have another argument with her.

  “I knew it, why won’t the Captain send us instead of some useless metahumans that couldn’t take even one bad guy down? At least we’ll have a bigger chance.” Marcial joined the conversation and Tris faced him.

  “Oh really? If you think you’re better than us then why can’t your group finish the rank B class that Captain gave you about… a month ago and you’re still trying to finish it? Do you want help to finish it because we are all available.” Tris was the first one who defended us.

  Despite Tris’ annoying bad side, he also has his good side. I know that he always hates the other members but when it comes to someone insulting one of our members, he’s always the one who would defend us until our opponent doesn’t have anything to say anymore.

  With what Tris had just said, Selena and Marcial walked away from us and I smiled at Tris which in return, he gave me a questioning look.

  “What?” He questioned and I shrugged.

  “Don’t know. Weren’t you just going to defeat me like ten minutes ago and now you’re defending for me?” I teased him and he muttered something I cannot hear.
